A few more irrelevant details! A local census about 1818 lists Philip and wife living with James (18), William (10), Francis (15), Ann (8) & Caroline (3) - the latter apparently an illegitimate granddaughter.

In 1828 Philip and wife were living with Sara (23) and George (7).

[Probably a coincidence but a Joseph Williams, his wife and 7 children were living at Cone Paper Mill itself - but plenty of Williams in Woolaston at the time!]

Also couldn't resist looking up Philip's gaol record when up at Gloucester Archives today:-
